Gentlemen: Referring to our recent

to our mailing list, permit us to say"
that we had hoped to hear from you

"We know' that you can make our
list exceptionally productive to you.
Each man on it has been a regular
buyer of liquor by mail and a constant
user of it and there is not a single
one who would not like to quit the
habit. Each man is keenly alive to
the injury of his practice and he is
only awaiting some way of stopping.
If you can convince him of the per
manent efficacy of your treatment he
is your patient, and you know how to
convince him.
